• While appearing to be in black & white, each page has been scanned in COLOR to mimic as closely as possible the experience of viewing the actual original art-for example, you are able to clearly see paste-overs, blue pencils in the art, editorial notes, art corrections. Each page is printed the same size as drawn, and the paper selected is as close as possible to the original art board.

LUST

Steve Niles (w) • Ben Templesmith, Menton3 (a & c)

LUST is a prose book, a comic book, and an art book all in one. The creative team explores the nature of the virtues and vices, specifically Chastity and Lust, as well as considers what it is that one may teach us about the other, concluding this exploration by meeting at the book’s middle.

The VICE Series from 44FLOOD, of which LUST is the first book, will have seven books focusing on each of the seven vices and their corresponding virtue, as well as an eighth and final book with vice herself personified.

The Well-SPOTLIGHT

Aron Wiesenfeld (a & c)

Aron Wiesenfeld makes paintings and charcoal drawings in which he evokes a reality that is at once familiar and mysterious. These poetic and carefully composed fragments are windows into an autonomous world that continues off the edges of the canvas. They trigger stories in the imagination that can take the shape of fairy tales, or more complex forms, questioning modern day alienation. References to art history, mythology, and pop culture converge without hierarchical order amid the cluttered remainders of manufactured landscapes, or baroque scenes of nature in glorious overgrowth. The people that populate his work embark on secret errands into veils of falling snow and twilight. His works have a restrained and focused tone, inviting contemplation of this intimate space, silent but for murmurs of the ominous.

HC • FC • 64 pages • $39.99 • 12″ x 12″ • ISBN: 978-1-63140-074-2

• Aron’s work has appeared in Juxtapoz, Hi-Fructose, The Huffington Post, and many other places.

As the warlord Kavanaugh gathers his army of cyborgs, mutants, and assassins, Cray must find a way to defend ZenZion using the limited resources available. But how can one disgraced warrior train an entire citizenry to defend itself without molding them into cold-blooded killers in his own image?

• Jeff Kline (Transformers: Prime, G.I. Joe: Renegades) pens this serio-comedic take on a reluctant hero, and contemplates what it means to be “special” in a world where fame can come and go faster than a speeding bullet. Collects issues #1-4.
